A gorgeous covered terrace, overlooking the lagoon and palm covered islands, just a few hundred yards away, is fully furnished with quality outdoor furniture and gas barbecue. Here you can enjoy many wonderful hours, reading a good book, marveling at the beauty of the area, or just doing nothing. If you wish to take a dip in the warm waters, nothing could be simpler. Just go down to your private dock and dive in.

Please check above for the rental car rates on Bora Bora and see the difference. Please Note: Nir now has three cars for rent with auto and air. Prices vary accordingly.

Wonderful accommodations!

We loved the accommodations, though the weather affected our water activities. Having a kitchen, barbecue grill, deck, and water toys really helped the situation. If someone wants to stay in over water bungalows, this experience is much less expensive than the 4-star resorts and has much more to offer!!

Nice vacation!

We had a nice vacation, two adults and a 12 year old kid. Plenty of space for us and everything worked out well, including the AC which is a must for spoiled people like us. The bungalow gives you an opportunity to enjoy and connect with the island with everything it has, from the high-end services to the local lifestyle. We went in the low season (January) and had good weather except for 2 days that marked the end of a storm. FYI: there are 13 hours of daylight in Jan and 11 in June. Nir was very helpful and I would recommend renting a boat and driving around, the lagoon is fantastic. Expensive but fantastic. Many thanks to Nir and Richard, we hope to come back someday.

Amazing what you get for the price!!!

Beautiful home on the water for an amazing price. Car came with the reservation and Nir meets you and sends you off at the boat. Super friendly and professional - he made us feel so welcome - thanks Nir!

Big thanks to Richard Holland - it was the most perfect stay for our family!!

Outstanding Experience

Richard, the owner, was so accommodating and informative about both his house and island... made it all so easy! We were looking for the Overwater experience with the ability to cook our own meals, have some privacy, and be able to actually be "on" Bora Bora and not just "looking" at Bora Bora from a hotel atmosphere on a motu. 1450 sq ft (no hotel room here), A/C throughout (but only used it in bedroom), and double sinks in bathroom. Built by Brando, but updated nicely by Richard. The ability to dive into the water at anytime, sit on the deck with a good book, kayak (included- seats 1 or 2) around, snorkel, watch the boats go by, BBQ, and feed the fish (French bread their preference). We did some hiking, snorkeling trip (manta rays, eagle rays, tropical fish eating out of your hand, and coral like you've never seen before). Get a car from Nir (Richard's local correspondent-- he also gives you a phone if you need him for anything-- good guy!) so you can drive around the island (beautiful), see Mt Otemanu up close, and explore... EASY to do, just keep an eye out for the locals who walk and ride bikes, and the dogs who made the original trip with the Polynesions long long ago--- do tend to bark...but in the laid-back island style, never approach you. Matira beach a must!! Water temp 85 degrees and no chlorine! Pack one pair of shorts, swimsuit, t-shirt or tank, and flip flops---washing machine included w/clothes line at end of deck. Marlon Brando was a smart guy... and Richard.

Paradise, this is!

My wife & I had a wonderful 3 nights in your overwaterbungalow. Having a car allowed us to travel about the island & explore whenever we wanted. Watching the fish from the deck was a special treat. We saw 3 stingrays & we think a baby eel! The AC was excellent. The only complaint would be the lack of snorkel equipment. This should be noted in your posting. We enjoyed Bloody Mary's and noted Seiko name on the outside wall!

Owner's Response: Thank you for the kind words. We try our best to make your experience at our bungalows as carefree and comfortable as possible. We do try to keep snorkeling equipment on hand, but they keep walking away. We always success you bring your own, as the fins and masks are sized accordingly. Shortie fins are all that is necessary. I apologize for the lack of gear, it's just so hard to keep them on hand. Many thanks and warm regards! Richard and Seiko

One of the most beautiful place on the island of Bora Bora.

This is one of the most beautiful place on the island. Very private, quiet, clean and have everything you will need for a great stay.

The condo has full kitchen, fridge, stove, BBQ, coffee machine and all. Although in front of the airport, you will not hear anything.

25 min from the closest grocery store, I will suggest you stop on your way there from the ferry. You will need a car. Don't hesitate to buy fresh fish and fruits on the stands on your way to the condo. Then relax.

The owners of the Black Pearl are proud to announce the acquisition and remodel of both of Marlon Brando's famous Over water Bungalows with FREE WIFI. Jack Nicholson Owned #3. James Michener called Bora Bora 'The most beautiful island in the world. And it is, it really is. Bora Bora is one of the Society Islands in the South Pacific, Tahiti being the largest. It is only a seven and a half hour flight from Los Angeles, and the same time zone as Hawaii. To get there, you take a direct flight to Tahiti and then a 45 minute island hopper to Bora Bora. You are now officially in paradise. Use your state of the art kitchen to prepare a meal, or dine out at the many fine restaurants on the island. The activities are endless if you wish to keep busy, or just lie down on the veranda, listen to the water and finish that 1000 page book you can't seem to finish. Life takes on new meaning when you are surrounded by the serenity and the beauty of Bora Bora. Come and see for yourself!
